It Only A United PDP That Can Dislodge APC In 2019. - Atiku

Former vice president Atiku Abubakar has said only a united Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would dislodge the All Progressives Congress (APC) led government in the 2019 general elections.

‎In a statement by his Media Office, Atiku said Nigerians were looking up to the PDP to reclaim power in 2019 for them to enjoy dividends of democracy.

“Our great party, the PDP is again, at the threshold of a historical moment. Just as we mobilized to put an end to prolonged military rule in 1999, the people of Nigeria at this moment look up to us to rescue the country from the mis-government of the APC.

“Arising from our elective congress, there should be no victor and no vanquished. Our paramount attention should be focused at sacking a government that deceived the people of Nigeria into power by promising our youths three million jobs annually, only to deliver three million job lodses annually; a government that is repeatedly living in denial of its commitment to restructuring. We must be united to take power back to where it belongs: the Nigerian people.

“As members of the PDP, we must take pride in being able to hold a national convention and in so doing live up to the bill of being a truly democratic political party. Our major opponent has not been able to achieve this feat and I join millions of our party members to congratulate the Ahmed Makarfi-led national caretaker committee.

“I understand that there are complaints and grievances from many of the co-contestants in the congress. I am aware that the PDP has a mechanism for addressing such complaints and it is important that such avenues of redress are made available for members to explore without hindrance," he said.

‎Atiku also congratulated Prince Uche Secondus on his victory as new PDP helmsman.
